Alice Complete Collection

Does the complete collection copy on Gamersgate actually include the first Alice game? And does it work?
Several online threads have indicated that this certain version was time-limited and no longer available, even on EA Origin (which the site correctly reflects this status).
There are even issues of this version crashing when attempting to launch the first game. Since there are no customer reviews of this game on GG, there is no way to know if this is a working version of the complete collection.
Can someone please verify?

Example of the issues I've come across while searching:

If you open the main game and wait for the main menu to appear (You MAY be able to skip the intro videos, I can't remember) there should be an option near the bottom of the screen on the right called "American Mcgee's Alice". Click that, and the first game should load up right away. If nothing happens, there is a chance that you either don't have the correct Redists (DirectX, VC_Redist, Physx, etc), but they are stored in a folder where the main game is installed. Try installing those, and if the game STILL fails, and you encounter an error, let me know what it says, and I'll do my best to find a workaround.
